Campground Host

Lake Owyhee State Park

Needed From June 1, 2019
Needed To June 30, 2019

Lake Owyhee State Park located near Adrian, Oregon, is a remote oasis catering to camping and boating on the shore of a scenic desert canyon resevoir.   Owyhee reservoir is a 53 mile long lake, filling a narrow, deep canyon brimming with colorfulr volcanic rock formations.  Many boaters return year after year to explore the desert canyon and rugged mountains.  Some geology is visible only by boat.  Anglers are awarded with excellent warm water catches, especially largemouthed bass, white and black crappie.  The reservoir also has catfish and is occasionally stocked with rainbow trout.

The Campground Host duties include:  prepare campsite and cabins for incoming campers and clean sites after campers leave; picking up litter, cleaning out fire rings and reporting other campsite needs to a Park Ranger.  Hosts will perform general restroom checks in the mornings, stocking paper products and picking up liter.  Campground hosts may perform other duties as assgined.  Typical schedule is 4 hours per day, 5 days per week with two days off.  There are no payphones, cell phone or WiFi services at this Park.  Although there are developed facilities, Lake Owyhee is a remote recreational experience.
